Fred DOty Tells Why His Pants

''Do you see that fellow going down

"Do you know what that thing is he's

No, what is it?''

1t is not that they are closer to their

Yon sang a Little song to-dar.

You sang little song to-day,
1t was not sad, it was not gay,
The very theme was nigh out-worn;
Two lovers met, as lovers may, ~,'t..
They had not met-sinee yesterday
They must not meet again-till morn!
And did they meet again, my year?
Did morning come and find them here
To see each others eyes again?
Alas on that you are not clear.
For hearts will shift as winds will yeer.
And love can veer like any vane!
LAh, no! think some sudden craze.
Some bitter spite befell their days.
What was that plaintive minor for?
No more together lie their ways,
Remote perhaps the lover strays,
Perhaps the lady comes no more!
So strange the numbers sob and swell;
No, there's no guessing what befell;

The Globes Plan to Stimulate the
Sketchers and Caricaturists Proves
a Gratifying Success.
Some Happy and Original Ideas Brought
Out Through the Illustrating of
Familiar Expressions.
Traces of the Cartoon Spirit Developed
Which Gives Promise of Great
Results in Future.
The Sketches Are Crude, To Be Sure,
But the Talent Is Visible to
the Naked Eye.

The amateur artists have responded
TO the GLOBES invitation quite liber-
ally, and the caricatures of familiar say
ingS submitted give evidence of talent
of no mean order. A good many of the
sketches sent in do not follow out the
original idea of the competition. how
ever, and therefore cannot be used, but
as rule the contributors have been
quick to see the point and catch the i'll
Splration. Some really clever concep-
tons have been the result, and the
GLOBE feels gratified at the ability
manifested by the young artists. 1t is
impossible to attempt to illustrate all
the sketches received, therefore the
most striking and effective only are
shown.
B. Smith, of Blue Earth City, shows
more energy than any of his brother art
lists, three sketches being sent in as the
product of his brain and pen. The first
